Hydatidosis/Echinococcosis an important zoonosis caused by metacestode of the dog worm Echinococcus granulosus, is world wide in distribution with both sylvatic and pastoral epidemiology.The parasite has an indirect life cycle utilizing dogs and other canids as definitive hosts and many herbivorous and omnivorous species, including wildlife and domesticated livestock as intermediate hosts. E. granulosus has a number of genetically distinct strains, which are known to differ phenotypically and therefore has implications for its control. To date, ten genotypes (G1 - G10) of E. granulosus have...

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease that occurs worldwide and is caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. In the present study, we report the association of low socioeconomic status and seropositivity of Toxoplasmosis in women of Lahore city. ELIZA technique was used to determine the IgG antibodies. Serological test was performed on 83 women blood samples, among these 24% women showed specific toxoplasma IgG antibodies and while 76% women were seronegative. Women belong to rural areas have more prevalence (35%) than those belong to urban areas (6.25%) because of lower educational...

Sahiwal cows ( n = 12 ) in early lactation were used to investigate effects of adding fibrolytic enzymes produced from fungus Humicola insolens on their milk production and weight gain. Cows were randomly assigned to two treatments: control and enzyme added to concentrate. The enzyme used was a blend that contained high xylanase and low cellulase activities. The crude enzyme from H. insolens was produced under inducing conditions in a 100 L bioreactor and used for feed applications. The results of present study showed that there was significant increase in weight gain of all the enzyme...

Resistance status of chloroquine, basoquine and sulphadoxine-pyremethamine against Plasmodium falciparum in Punjab, Pakistan was tested by in vivo and in vitro study techniques and found 38.6% resistance to chloroquine and 34.8% to basoquine. Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine found effective with only 5.7% resistance. Comparison Traditional microscopy showed 4.47 % false positive detection (p<0.000) as compared to rapid drug test. As chloroquine and basoquine has crossed resistance percentage >10%, mono therapy with these drugs should be replaced with combination of artemether in Punjab, Pakistan.
